Top 80 Songs of 1980

Whip it good! 1980 was the dawn of a brave new world in rock ‘n’ roll. The year was dominated by two pioneering bands both from the great state of Ohio: Devo and the Pretenders. London was calling in the form of The Clash and David Bowie was the pinnacle of art-rock fa-fa-fashion. The West Coast was flying high, from the Dead Kennedys punk rocking by The Bay while the Go-Go’s and Missing Persons led the SoCal new wave. The party that would become the big, bad ‘80s had started with a pop-tastic bang.
